You guys need to hit the north fork of the american river at the iowa hill bridge. Wait until the water warms up in mid summer. This stretch is also a very popular swimming hole, you'll see why when you get there. There is also a campground right by the river which can make for a very pleasant weekend.There are lots of smaller bass around as well as some big boys in the deeper spots.Not really difficult fishing this stream as the brush starts a little ways up the bank due to the high water level at runoff time.Sure there's snakes and poison oak around but not much of either down by the water.I don't think you can beat this spot for an intro to streamer fishing for smallies.I've only caught one trout there but I have heard rumors of many more late in the year when the water cools down. Can't wait for summertime.
Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.
